Is this Craftsman plastic toolbox actually a tacklebox?

I bought this wonderful toolbox at an estate sale. The gentleman who owned it had some really useful materials in the top tray for household repairs -- pill container of various size wire connectors, plumbing teflon tape, electrical tape, wire (insulated and non), zip ties, car fuses, some various nuts/bolts and screws. More items too. Tools were removed though but I have plenty of those.

I think it was all of $2. I turned it into my general repair box. It's nice because being plastic it's pretty light, and the stackable trays swallow up a lot of stuff. The trays allow your smaller stuff to be findable. I just set the trays down and stuff is easy to find. It has two side latches that can be locked with a padlock.

Even if it's a tacklebox, it's still a nice box.

I have the Blue Point version in green but a few other colors were available at the time. It has been years but they were made by Flambeau or Plano both make fishing tackle boxes and various other storage items.
Did a lot of Ls engine swaps using that box for tools needed.
The Utility tote with the single bottom drawer has been handy also.

It’s a tool box. Im certain I’ve seen that also sold by Klein in a different color.

They still have a variation listed

It's definitely a toolbox, not a tacklebox.
These were pretty popular back in the day, and I still have the orange and black Klein Tools version willf650 linked above. I've seen them branded for several other companies.
It's been years since I researched this, but I still have an excerpt from a Waterloo catalog, whom I believe was actually the manufacturer.
